What are some of your best success stories and would you care to share them? :) My success story would probably be that I went to the Indiana State Fair twice for 4-H. Now, what does that have to with game creation? Well, I won grand champion at the county fair for my iPhone game, Meteor Man. The judge thought it was so good that we were qualified for a State Fair entry. So the story goes on to say that I did not win any sort of champion in the State Fair because I made a notebook instead of a poster. :-w I wasn't too upset though because I at least got to state and this year, I know what to do. ;)

    Mine would be participating in Microsoft's Imagine Cup 2012 and getting all the way to the Australia leg of the competition. We didn't win and we couldn't upload our game to the WP store due to older phones running out of RAM, but it sure was a blast :) the game we were working on was Rescue Run.

    Haha good point @SnapFireStudios ! How about however you define success. As long as it falls under your idea of success then you can share. ;)

    My success was to create an App for my 4 year old. Scan his superhero drawings and GS allows me to create some cool tricks and create a quick app for my son in < an hour. Envy of his friends :). Daddy success !

    @zzap64 Good for you! I'm not old enough to be a father (I'm 15) but I always like to hear of stories like that. :) You should introduce him to GameSalad when he is old enough. ;)

    Yes, thanks for mentioning me, TTSvs3DLDC™ is currently riding high at #1483 in the Malawi Free app charts (up from #1485 last week), it's been quite a whirlwind these last few weeks.

    This has sold over 15,000 on Amazon.....we were pretty amazed....as it's not done very well on any of the other stores. And it happened without any PR/advertising intervention from us.

    For about a week we were number 3 in free app rankings in Saudi Arabia with our non-GS app 'iRaspberry' (40,000).
    We have no idea why.

    Biggest success? I have one Master degree (and making my second), and one engineer degree, and I know 4 languages (english, german, french, and polish).
    These are my biggest successes :)
